Local
students win essay contestThree Prairie Middle School students took District 5 honors in the
Idaho Farm Bureau Essay Contest, which locally was held in May. Kody Duclos
was first place winner, Levi Lustig was second, and Marcus Higgins placed
third. Their essays, which followed the theme of "Looking to the Future
of Idaho Agriculture" were sent to District level for judging. District
5 is all the counties from the Canadian border down to Riggins. Congratulations,
boys, you represented our county well.
The District first place winner automatically competes at the state
level. So Kody's essay was sent on and he placed second in the state. Congratulations,
Kody!
Kody's parents are Mike and Tara Duclos, Ferdinand. Levi is the son
of Doug and Karen Lustig, Cottonwood, and Marcus belongs to Brad &
Cindy Higgins, Greencreek. Mrs. Jessica Vanderwall was their fifth grade
teacher.
